A match of ICI 78 Sweet Dreams is a very light, low-chroma warm near-white with a faint blush-beige cast. It reads soft rather than crisp, and the slight red-yellow bias keeps it from feeling stark or icy.
This MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color reference can be used on small parts where a pale, subdued finish is needed: switch plates, ceiling vents, speaker grilles, picture frames, shelf brackets, cabinet pulls, railing hardware, PVC trim pieces, mailboxes, and fixture covers. It also suits mixed-material pieces where metal, plastic, or previously coated components need a coordinated look.
Because the color is very light, darker substrates, patches, sanding marks, or uneven primer can show through more easily, so surface prep and coverage matter. Finish can also change the reading of the color: glossier applications may make the warm cast more noticeable, while flatter finishes tend to soften it. On exterior parts, pale colors can show dirt and wear sooner than deeper colors, so even film build is helpful.

Use light, even coats and keep the can or gun moving so the paint does not build up in one spot. Hold a consistent distance from the surface, overlap each pass slightly, and avoid heavy wet coats that can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy build.
If the part is dark, porous, or uneven, expect to need more than one coat for full hide. Let each coat dry according to the product instructions before applying the next one.
It is useful for small parts and awkward items such as trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and removable components that are easier to spray than brush.
This is MyPerfectColor paint matched to ICI 78 Sweet Dreams, not the original paint made by ICI. It is a practical choice when you want the color reference on a part, fixture, or accessory that needs a repeatable match.
Confirm the target color from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference from the original brand, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color reference, so the color choice should be verified before you order.
If you are matching an existing painted item, remember that age, sheen, texture, and lighting can change how ICI 78 Sweet Dreams appears. A standard match is best when you are matching the brand color reference itself rather than an aged neighboring surface.
Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used and how much reflectivity you want on the finished surface. Sheen affects durability, cleanup, and the way ICI 78 Sweet Dreams will read after it is applied.
Higher gloss usually reflects more light and can show surface flaws more easily. Lower sheen finishes reduce reflection but may not clean as easily. Select the finish that fits the part, not just the color name.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 78 Sweet Dreams, we don't provide any crossover information because this is a subjective determination. Every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another company's color collection, so determining which color is the best approximation is a judgement call.
However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Related Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the company you want.
Keep in mind that this just shows similar colors based on the color values we have stored in our database. It doesn't mean it is the same or give any approximation about how close the color is. You can play around with the Hue, Lightness and Chroma sliders to expand the selection.
